The South London Soul Train Volume 2: Funk / Soul / Rare Groove / Disco / Motown N Brass CD

Peckham-based club night The South London Soul Train has quickly established itself as a go-to destination for all those looking for "love, funk and soul". Here main man Jazzchronic delivers a second CD of favourites from the monthly shindig. There's naturally plenty to set the pulse racing, from the Hammond-heavy brilliance of Jimmy Smith's "Burning Spear" and the heavyweight boogaloo business of Hector Rivera's "I Want a Chance For Romance", to the New Orleans hustle of Youngblood Brass Band's fine cover of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody" and the righteous disco-funk of Mass Production's "Welcome To Our World (of Merry Music)". Throw in further classics from the likes of James Brown, Jill Scott and Roy Ayers, and you've got a killer collection of dancefloor gems.
